SECOND CLASS FOOL

Are we now servants to the government? Do we now do as they say, when they say, and how they say - begging permission to do what we should be allowed under the concept of Liberty?

I have come to the conclusion that I do not have the same rights as others. I am under constant fear of my actions, and the consequences of those actions, if I slip up for even a moment.

As a gun owner, I cannot enter parks in some cities. Just as a sexual predator cannot enter parks, I must stand beside him, looking in, and saying, "I am treated as a criminal, just as this person next to me who has been convicted of a crime.

As a gun owner, I cannot enter a court house in some cities and states, unless I agree to be weaker, submit to laws and rules designed to punish me because I am a gun owner. I do not commit crimes, yet, I must be punished. A police officer can walk past me, armed. A magistrate can walk past me, armed. A security guard who gets $10.22 an hour is allowed to carry a weapon, but not me. I am a gun owner, I must submit to more laws, more rules, more regulation, than others.

As a gun owner, I cannot enter the portion of an establishment allotted to serving alcohol. By law, laws passed to punish me before I commit a crime, I cannot sit with my friends in Red Robin if they choose to eat in the bar area. Likewise, if there is seating available in the bar area of a Red Lobster, I must explain to the waitress that I am not trustworthy enough to sit in that area for fear I may kill someone. I am branded as a potential murderer by law, and restricted accordingly.

Black people fought for equality. Gun owners are now being designated as the new "lower class." I don't like it.

I'm writing through a haze of red. I just got a look at the new open carry bill, which does little to nothing. But it's the best the legislature can do given the attacks on our rights by traitors like Flores and democrats more interested in getting votes than removing the last of the Jim Crow laws in our state.

Make no mistake, the right at stake here is not the right to carry a gun, but the right to let that gun be seen. It's not a 2nd amendment issue, or even a gun rights issue. It's a freedom of speech issue that concerns a piece of cloth the thickness of sheet of paper. It's our legislature saying, "You can carry a gun, but I am not going to let you be seen doing it. You can carry a weapon, but you will be SILENT! You will be UNHEARD! You will be ASHAMED! You will COVER IT UP for you are DISGUSTING, and OUT OF CONTROL, and EMBARRASSING.

The legislature is saying, "I know there are gun owners in this state, but I am going to write laws that silence them, and make them cover up. I can't take the guns away yet, but I can stop the spread of the culture by making them wear blackface... sorry, a shirt over the gun." They are saying, "These people want to carry a gun, but I will make sure that their disgusting lifestyle is hidden in a closet." They are saying, "I know we have blacks in our community - sorry, gun owners in our community, but if we run them to the outskirts, then we can silence them and make them go away."

What bothers me the most is that instead of a hundred thousand people waiting to get into a meeting of the Judiciary, the group that has killed our rights year after year, all I see in the audience is a large group of Bloomburg parrots wearing red shirts and making faces at the real men and women standing.

It shamed me to realize that I was alone. The phone calls demanding the end to our oppression were all mine. The woman at the end of the line says, "You're the first one we've heard from."
